yes! the frame is made of pallet pieces for the most part (except for the fabric)... some pallets have those supports in them (if you google "pallet" you can see that part is called a "runner")... we disassembled another pallet to use just those pieces, and cut the ends of them on angles to fit together at the top points and onto the tops of the walls. we then used a thick rod to go from the front top point to the back top point, and then i made a fabric roof with some ties to go over the whole thing.

sorry for the late response! yes, most things were galvanized, so they wouldn't rust. we had a bunch of things laying around in the garage, so we used what was on hand, but they happened to be exterior quality. to hold it all together, we used mostly corner brackets (?) and screws. you can see the brackets i'm talking about in most of the photos, but if you look in the seventh one down in the top back left corner, you can see what i'm talking about. for the roof frame, we used L-brackets to attach them to the top of the pallets, and at their peaks, used screws to attach them to each other.

hi katie! sorry for the delay in responding... we used a drill for the screws, a circular saw for cutting the pallets, and a crowbar to remove any nails in the pallets. outside of that, for the hardware, we tried to use whatever we had on hand... some L brackets and/ or those corner plates to connect the pallets at the corners, hinges for the doors, things like that. if you decide to build one and have specific questions, feel free to ask as they come up!

why i am a wanderer...

when i was little, i was in a day camp called "the happy wanderers." i've always thought that was a funny name...endearing, i guess. and now, many years later, i find that it suits me again. i'm learning as i go, and going as i learn. and i'm truly happy as i wander through it all.
